Taking a building down into it's own footprint takes a specialized team months to prepare and rig and even then sometimes things go wrong.

I remember watching a cement plant smoke stack come down as a kid, they rigged the whole thing with explosives, set them off and barely anything happened other than noise and smoke. Turns out there was a lot more steel reinforcement in the structure than the blueprints indicated. (scrap railroad tracks had been used as additional concrete reinforcement)

@rhsimard See, the problem is that most of this ignorant fools missed their physics class and smoked weed instead...

3 QUESTIONS 911 TRUTHERS DON'T WANT YOU TO ASK THEM:

Why did Dr. Steven Jones circumvent the peer review process by not showing his thermite paper to the chief editor & printing it without her approval?

Demolition experts estimated it would take 100 men 6 months to place explosives in WTC 1, 2, & 7, how come no one witnessed any strange construction activity, wires, or boxes?

How can A&E for 911 Truth be considered a professional organization when 80% of its members are students?

@emyllsomar these* not "this".

[tiednotes45554]

Think of it as jenga blocks. if parts are weakened, everything will go down...

[MrFernsehkritik1]

@rhsimard And reality is against you haha

[creativiguy12]

notice the building on the right with the black plastic?

[hornetgags]

@Xendrius You're confusing yourself. The trusses holding the inner columns to the outer columns were designed to bear static loads not dynamic loads. Once the rivets/bolts holding the trusses in place failed due to heat, they collapsed onto the floor below and so on.Once the progressive collapse began there was no way the building was going to stay up as the loads from the upper floors onto lower floors increased and accelerated with gravity. Audio/video evidence doesn't support your argument.

@Xendrius Evidence is explosions heard before the collapse??!!! (Oh really!!).. You mean like these clips. (Mics just not working that day? LOL watch?v=8Mz0_x7313I or watch?v=0IvicKnhANs How bout.. watch?v=gJbGm7GE1tA Or. watch?v=36-LbcxQO9M&feature=re­lated All shot within about 1800 ft of the tower. NONE have anything REMOTELY close to a linear shaped charge detonating. Which sounds like THIS at 1500 feet. (I measured) watch?v=YIDPoEMk9V0&feature=re­lated ITS A LOAD OF CRAPOLA!!

[roquefortfiles]

@Xendrius Carefully placed explosives at the core columns? And ZERO audio of that taking place?? LOL.. I can't even convey how completely ridiculous that statement is!!

My friend you have not got a clue about what you are talking about!! Believe me!!

BTW when a building is imploded blasting debris ALWAYS... ALWAYS remains. Wiring, fuse delay elements. The tops of blasting caps. And this material is ALL OVER THE PLACE.. EASY to find

ZERO was recovered. Trained people there

[roquefortfiles]

@Xendrius  What kind of explosives?? The only thing going to slice massive columns is a linear shaped charge.. Sorry but thats a fact!! Weather it is RDX or Semtex.. whatever!! And saying a bunch of conventional explosives were used does not "HELP" your case. There is a REASON shaped charges are used. And i can tell you an explosive ejection from a linear shaped charge would be FAR FAR larger than what you see there. Which is nothing but air being compressed.
